Anchoret. The - It All Began with Loneliness (2023)

The debut album from this band from Canada.

The band is a quintet with a lineup of drums, bass, guitars, keyboards, synths and vocals.

Numerous guests added percussion, guitars, saxophones, flutes, clarinet, keyboards, mellotron, synths and vocals.

This is said to be the new hope in the Canadian progressive rock and metal scene. This album has been true and well hyped.

The music is indeed a mix of heavy prog and progressive metal. There are some psych rock and djent here too. 

The music on this one hour long album is pretty varied and ranging from djent and almost cascades of death metal to more pastoral and Pink Floyd like psych rock.

The music is too varied and the quality is not good enough.

The band is highly talented though. They just need to write some better songs and become more focused. At the moment, there is some work to be done in that respect.

Check out this album.
